A Rochester man was ticketed Wednesday by Ontario County sheriff's deputies with failure to stop at a stop sign following a two-vehicle crash at the intersection of Routes 5 and 20 and Wheeler Station Road in East Bloomfield in which one victim was airlifted to a hospital.

Deputies said Scott A. Pisciotta, 34, of 150 Linden St., was driving south on Wheeler Station Road at approximately 2:30 p.m. when he allegedly failed to stop at the stop sign at the intersection with Routes 5 and 20. His vehicle collided with a vehicle traveling east on Routes 5 and 20, operated by Michelle L. Peffers, 27, of 25 Jodell Lane, Bloomfield. Deputies said Pisciotta's vehicle struck a residence on the corner of the intersection, and Peffers' vehicle struck a Rochester Gas & Electric utility pole, breaking it in half.

Peffers was extricated from her vehicle by members of the East Bloomfield-Holcomb Fire Department and was airlifted to Strong Memorial Hospital by Mercy Flight for treatment of multiple lacerations to her face, deputies said. She was listed in satisfactory condition Thursday morning, according to hospital representatives. Pisciotta was taken by East Bloomfield ambulance personnel to Thompson Hospital, where he was treated and released for back pain.

Pisciotta was issued a ticket to appear in East Bloomfield Town Court.

Crews from RG&E responded to the scene to replace the utility pole, and traffic was rerouted from the scene for approximately three hours, deputies said. The sheriff's office's accident investigation team also responded to reconstruct the crash.
